SINGAPORE: Saliva test kits have been used for the first time as part of the Central Narcotics Bureau’s anti-drug raids at nightlife establishments in Singapore over the weekend.
A 43-year-old Singaporean man was arrested for suspected drug-related offences, while a 31-year-old man was arrested for being a suspected member of an unlawful society. “The introduction of saliva test kits into CNB’s suite of tools help increase the testing capacity during our anti-drug operations,” said Superintendent Lim Sze Yuk, commanding officer of the bureau’s Enforcement ‘G’ Division.
These kits, which are light and compact, are more efficient than other methods such as hair or urine tests. The saliva tests can be done almost anywhere. With activities heating up at nightlife outlets across Singapore as the scene recovers from the pandemic, authorities are also stepping up on enforcement.
“This operation is part of CNB’s ongoing efforts to clamp down on illicit drug activities,” said Superintendent Lim.
